This PR revise the robotology-superbuild README with the following changes:

  • It provides pointers on how to use conda to either install binaries of the robotology packages via conda, or how to compile the superbuild using conda-forge dependencies. This would ensure that more users outside IIT are exposed to this new tools, that we have been using internally at IIT for some months now.
  • It moves the documentation of the Homebrew and vpckg-based installation methods to a separate doc/deprecated-installation-methods.md page, to try to clarify for users that those methods are not our preferred way of installing software on macOS and Windows, see Stop supporting Homebrew in robotology-superbuild Continuous Integration and direct macOS users to conda? #842 .

The README probably would be benefic for a general overhaul, but I would prefer first to get this change in, instead of trying to both introduce conda in the README, and change its structure at the same time.
